Pope's Italian Facebook Group

Yesterday Italian newspapers noted that the oldest Facebook group (fan club) for the Pope has only 45 members. Maintained by a Croatian, the name of the group is "Viva il papa Benedetto XVI." The news outlets boasted that this was proof that the "approval rating" for the Pope is now at its lowest.

In a rage, I joined the group after reading the article. This afternoon, membership is at 580.

If you're on Facebook then join this group and stick it in the face of the media pundits who then pointed out that an anti-Pope Italian group on Facebook had 4,835 members.

I joined it today because another Facebook friend invited me. I didn't know the history but it strikes me that the naysayers are panicking about the upcoming Papal Youtube channel. Roll on the Friday Press Conference.Then we'll see.
